Abstract

A susceptor for use in a chemical vapor deposition process in a radiant absorption heating system comprises a heater adapted to absorb radiant energy and a sheath of high purity quartz completely surrounding the heater. The sheath further comprises dimples inside the sheath spacing the sheath from the heater. The heater may be graphite having a substantially pinhole-free outgas-inhibiting outer-coating such as silicon carbide.
